Conductor Chin Sol, School of Music, Performs at Serate Musicali Upon Invitation

Conductor Chin Sol, an alumna of the School of Music, met the audience in Milan, Italy, on April 14 after being officially invited to Serate Musicali, one of the world’s leading classical music festivals.

Founded in 1971, the Serate Musicali is a historic festival that has hosted prominent artists and orchestras from around the world. It is well known for participation of numerous world-class artists, including pianist Martha Argerich, pianist Yuja Wang, composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi.

This time, the concert was held under the theme “Harmony of the Orchestra.” Chin Sol co-performed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Requiem in D minor, K. 626” with the orchestra L’Appassionata.

Joining their performance were soprano Cecilia Rizzetto, mezzosoprano Chiara Selmo, tenor Eduardo Hurtado Rampoldi, bass singer Lorenzo Ziller, and ensemble Vocale Continuum.

Chin explained, “Mozart’s Requiem is a work about fundamental human emotions and existence, requiring performers’ utmost sincerity both musically and emotionally.” She added, “How honored and emotionally moved I am to perform on the stage of Serate Musicali with such great Italian performers is simply beyond measure.”

Chin Sol earned her BA from K-Arts and her MA from the Manheim University of Music and Performing Arts. She has performed with many international orchestras, including the Baden-Baden Philharmonic Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn. Chin was also recognized with the 2024 Hong Jin-ki Creativity Award in the culture and the arts. She currently serves as an adjunct professor at K-Arts, principal conductor of the Daegu International Symphony Orchestra, artistic director of the Artisee, and CEO of the Flasic.
